THE ALEXANDRIA DELEGATES on THE
DEEr OUEsTGoN.-As the question OF the
settlement of the State debt will! probably
,,.as before the democratic convention to
&c il, Id at Roanoke on Thursday next, q re-
porter of the GAZETTE, in order to ascertain
It,, opinion of the ton Alexandria delegates
ON the subject interviewed them with the
following result
Mayor Smoot, delegate from the Fourth
ward, said he was now engaged IN looking
over The various debt statements with re-
yard to this very question and was hardly
ready for an answer. He thought. however,
that the State had better settle with her
creditors by paying them as interest what
remained of her revenues alter paying all
he legislative expenses OF the State govern
mont.
Judge C. f. Stuart, of the Third ward,
Thought that the Riddleberger bill with a
receivable coupon feature might De
agreed upon, but to have the matter settled
he would be even willing to so beyond the
Riddleberger settlement.
Commemorative Attorney Marbury, of
the Second ward, was in favor OF settle
ment of the debt question, irrespective OF
the Riddlebereer bill, and ofremoVing the
ISSUE from politics He wants q settle
ment.
DIR. A. f. Cox, of tho Second ward, said
he was in favor of standing by the Riddle
berger bill. The State might be able to pay
tha debt but il was evident she WIS not
going 10 do so.
in favor of Il proper and equitable assess
mcnt of the property throughout the State
oil the lands SIS we'll of city pr0perty-an
of making the best settlement with the
creditors that the revenues Of the State will
allow
Mr.. 5. G. Brent, of the Third ward, said
he was nov locking over the report OF the
debt commission, held during the the recent
extra session of the legislature, and thought
that the proposition of the bondholders, with
u few minor changes, might haze been &C.
cented by the State. He was in favor CT
paying the debt.
Mr.. X. W. Balenger of the Third ward,
WAS in favor of upholding the action OF the
2ast legislature in references to the debt
matter. However. if anything better could
Ia uODB ny Lue uSIioCi d'lS panty uC "S'''u
he ia favor OF such action.
Mr.. Richard Rowland. of the Fourth
wSrd, was in favor of making the best set
element that could DE agreed upon between
the bondhoders and the State, regardless Of
the Riddeberger bill.
Mr.. G.. o. Monroe, of the First ward, was
opposed to any unnecessary agitation OF the
dslt question, but was in favor of settling
ehe debt on basis giving the creditors all
,hat the present revenues would allow, after
5.elucting the expenses of the State.
MIR. Hubert Snowden, of the First ward,
ihoueht the Only way to settle the debt was
20 nav it, and the sooner that was done the
hetter it would be for every interest Of the
S.nte. He thought that if BALI the effort
had been made to pay the debt that had
been made to keep from paying it the ques'
zion would have been settled long ago.
1t will be seen by the above that the
Alexandria delegation is By no means we'd
did to The Riddleberger settlement.
